Mother's Day held a golden moment for me. I took my first novel, Beth, Women of the Drifting Anchor Ranch to my Mama. I used her pen name Vivian Varlowe for my series.
As she held the novel up her brilliant, brown eyes, (they still sparkle like diamonds), filled with soft, joyous tears.
I said, "Mama, it took awhile but you made it! YOU and I are published! I would never have had the talent, skill, or determination to write a novel if you hadn't been my fan club, my teacher, and my beloved friend."
Then came the warmest of hugs, and the sharing of long held love. For me the achievement of a goal is ALWAYS sweeter when shared with my Mother!
Happy Mother's Day everybody!
